work in progress!

This is still a work in progress, but I thought it was about time for an update here in blog-land.



She has lots of outfits, and when she's done she'll be in my etsy store. She's also going with me to Unique LA this year, so if you're in the area you can swing by in December and grab one! I'm also hoping to have another paper doll, maybe a tattooed lady, or a flapper, or a 17th century lady. I was planning on having her done in time for APE but I underestimated how time consuming/technical/hard it is to make a good paper doll, so that was a no go. APE, by the way, was not particularly successful for me this year (but I get the impression that it wasn't too great for anybody exhibiting). I'm putting my hopes in Unique LA, hoping that people get into the X-mas shopping spirit by then!

In other news, it's almost HALLOWEEN, the best holiday ever! I don't know about you all, but I can't ever seem to really get IN to a holiday unless I watch an appropriately themed cartoon first.



Yay!

HMMM...

...what can this be?




...or THIS, for that matter?!



Getting ready for APE. More later!

I'm gettin' hitched!

Sorry for the lack of posts in recent days. I have a really good excuse: I'm getting married this weekend! And I'm planning the whole wedding myself! Does that sound like intense times? Well it is, just busy work and detail-wise. There's so many little variables to plan for, and combine that with the fact that Mercury was in retrograde for most of September and you've got (and by "you" I mean "ME") quite a snarl-ball of logistical and creative stuff to deal with.

When I say that I'm planning it myself, what I really mean is that me and Sean argued about how to appropriately 'art direct' the event, and we made everything ourselves: invites, programs, decorations, the whole she-bang. Then I spent a lot of time+energy making phone calls and writing e-mails and sending faxes to make sure everything got taken care of. I've been drinkin' a lot of coffee!

So here's the image that went on the front of our invite. We took it one morning before Sean went to work. I love that dress.




You shan't be hearing from me for a little while, cause I have to attend to the business of being a bride, but I'll be back soon-ish!

P.S.,

Got the buttons made. They're really cool!
